Yves Klein (Nice, 1928 – Paris, 1962) is considered one of the most ground-breaking artists from the twentieth Century.
Postmodern artist patented a new colour, ultramarine bleu, known as International Klein Blue, that used to impregnate all kind of materials seeking the phenomenological experience of the space and the manifestation of pure pictorial sensibility and immateriality.
As a conceptual artist, Yves Klein liberated painting from narrative and the work of art from its physical aspect. From that moment on, everything, even the void, was susceptible to being transformed into art.
